Does it still work?
Anya~ 3 Aug, 2016 @ 3:03am 
I'll have to test this out and see if it needs fixing.
sievaxx 29 May, 2016 @ 4:25am 
Does this even work anymore? every time I use it, it lags the game and causes errors.
Exho  [author] 24 Apr, 2016 @ 12:55pm 
That was just for demonstration I believe

Hey Exho. This looks like a good addon, but why is the message above your head in the second screenshot visible even though you said it is visible only to other players?
Nephrite Harmony 25 Mar, 2016 @ 11:08am 
Does it work clientside?

While playing TTT, I get this error:

[ERROR] addons/chatonhead/lua/autorun/cl_chatonhead.lua:54: attempt to index global 'LocalPlayer' (a function value)
1. PlayerColor - addons/chatonhead/lua/autorun/cl_chatonhead.lua:54

Error in hook PostDrawOpaqueRenderables: addons/chat/lua/autorun/cl_chatonhead.lua:105: Tried to use a NULL entity!
Chillstice 17 Mar, 2015 @ 12:28pm 
[ERROR] addons/chat/lua/autorun/cl_chatonhead.lua:114: bad argument #1 to 'GetBonePosition' (number expected, got nil)

Maybe a 'submit bugs' discussion would be good to have imo.
Otherwise, this is one of my favorite chat additions.

I LOVE YOU

I would like the player name to match with their team color through ulx admin mod. I'm super bad at lua coding and I can't come up with an elegant solution. Will you ever add this kind of functionality in a future update? :acduck:
GhettoSmaug 7 Jan, 2015 @ 2:41pm 
Okay thanks :)
Exho  [author] 7 Jan, 2015 @ 2:40pm 
if not ply:Alive() then return end
GhettoSmaug 7 Jan, 2015 @ 2:39pm 
What about people that are dead? Just wondering
Phi 30 Oct, 2014 @ 11:30am 
I can confirm that text can sometimes (most of the time) appear above other people's heads. After experimenting a bit, I found that it mostly happens after one or more people die.
Exho  [author] 13 Oct, 2014 @ 6:47am 
Well then... I guess I will have to figure out why that happens because it should work based off the code
Half-Master 12 Oct, 2014 @ 11:43pm 
Exho
I have tested, And its too bad
When you write something, text you wrote goes to other player, and if someone writes things, It goes like you wrote it
Its glitchy
Momo5000 12 Oct, 2014 @ 11:31pm 
finally a free script like this. Someone is selling it for $15 ... Pff this one is for free and it's exactly the same. Thanks mate !
Exho  [author] 12 Oct, 2014 @ 9:21am 
Uh, both really cause its networked across Client and Server. This should work for all players but I havent tested in multiplayer
Gunslinger ☢ 12 Oct, 2014 @ 9:20am 
Client-side or server-side?
Exho  [author] 11 Oct, 2014 @ 7:38am 
Ruuunneescccaappeee!! If only I could make the chat have animations
